Ambiguities in construction contracts

Late completion of and over expenditure on construction projects is attributable to a number of circumstances which in my opinion should not be exclusively credited to the contractor.

It is important to note that construction, especially major projects is generally a complex process which requires good and effective management, cooperation between the parties to a contract, higher degree of clarity and use of simple common occurring language. An ambiguity in construction projects is an area of possible dispute and cause for cost and time over runs.
